Does anyone understand "Metabolic Age"? Does anyone really understand it, and can explain it?

I had the same problem - stuck at 50! I called Tanita and they told me metabolic age was tied to body fat percentage. When mine finally dropped below 24%, my metabolic age started slowly falling through the 40's. I'm not sure what the body fat percentage threshold may be for a woman but I suspect this is the situation for you as well.

Age and activity also influence a dog's metabolism. While this product rates high in my mind, I would also consider which formula may be best for your pet.

I fill it a little more than half and sometimes 3/4. The cleaner you eat, and if you take 'cleansing' supplements, the easier your body will respond (so how much you use will vary). It is true that everyone is different and it may vary from time to time. (I used to be a colon therapist, so thought I'd add my two cents.) Good luck :)

Raw Meal (four scoops daily) replaced two meals for me for over one full year now, with no negative effects. In fact, benefits gained, Harmony. For instance, years ago "growths?" began appearing on my face, three on side of face and a couple on forehead; these specks grew to sizes ranging from one-sixteenth inch to three-quarter inch (I sport a beard). They did not appear to be just one type of "growth." Some sensitive, some not. In the neighborhood of five months back, I happened to rub my forehead and felt no discomfort, and had to really rub to feel some. It was necessary to squint to examine the other because color more natural and much smaller, and the largest on face seemed a little less pronounced. Improvement gained momentum. Now that largest one measured 80% smaller. Anything such as this was not the reason for consuming this much Raw Meal, Harmony. It just came as a bonus. Thinking about it, the skin is the largest organ providing many functions, the most unexpected being that it communicates with the liver and kidneys. It makes me wonder what is improving inside of me!

Interesting question, as I just came from the Phycox MAX page after reading that description carefully. I don't know why they aren't more clear about it on the product page, but the MAX formula appears to be for older obese dogs with potentially diabetes issues. I quote: "Improved weight loss in aging dogs", "Improved control of blood glucose levels", "Phycox MAX 3X addresses concerns with heart health, obesity, blood glucose levels...". I've been using this regular Phycox for several years now after my older female dog (not obese) began having hip problems, and it's been like a miracle drug, so I'm sticking to it.

lol thats what I read and also came from dr oz himself. I do not know how much it is the case, but it has helped my mom shed some pounds... I wouldn't down soda all day and live off chips and Mcdonalds. Be reasonable and you should be fine :-)

I've been using Mendpause for several months now, and yes, the belly fat is going away. I do watch my calories scrupulously (myfooddiary.com is awesome for helping in this regard) and exercise vigorously 5 days a week - but I was also doing this before the Mendapause, and was only seeing a slowing to the weight gain, not a reversal. But do watch your diet and exercise, as our metabolisms do slow with age and hormonal changes and what you ate a year ago (without gaining weight) may be more than your body can handle these days without gaining. It's not a miracle drug: you're going to have to put in effort to lose what you've gained, but it made the difference for me I've been using Mendpause for several months now, and yes, the belly fat is going away.

My package had no date on it. Supplements do not require an expiration date under US regulations.And enzymes are slow to age. The worst that could happen with an old enzyme is it wouldn't work as well as it would the first day of production. Notice: Not intended as Medical or Legal advice :-)

It uses age to calculate body fat percentage, bone density, water percentage, and muscle percentage. Those are the four calcs it gives besides weight.

Yes, a significantly younger body age is highly likely if you're truly fit. I'm a woman who will turn 50 this year and the scale gave me a body age of 22. My body fat percentage is 17 and muscle percentage is 38. I've been very active all my life and do Body Pump twice weekly. Weight training is a cornerstone practice and key to health as we age.

It gave me more energy and I also started losing weight - gradually. I think I lost about 5 lbs in a month and kept it off. I think it rev's up a person's metabolism. it's actually a wonderful product IF it were not for the side-effects that *I* had experienced. It probably would work for most people - just not me. One just has to be careful when taking the product and also be diligent in one's research.

I don't believe there's a specific maximum although I assume it can't be limitless. If you tested the world's heaviest person I'm guessing it might reach 150. Who knows. All the other values are put into a formula to determine the metabolic age so it just depends on how unhealthy and overweight any specific individual might be.

Suggest that you check biomer.com. I think they have a pretty good explanation.

not sure what you mean by metabolism. But if you are asking whether it tracks calories burned - then yes. And it does it two ways. First it has a baseline that is determined by the height and weight information that you enter. And then, when you take your heart rate - it will calculate the calories based upon that for a time period (not sure how long it takes to go back to the baseline). It's the only one I found in this price range that does that.

Thank you soooooo very much for this explanation. It totally makes sense, and I've never had this explained to me. Thanks again for taking the time to respond!

Hello Joan,I am interested in learning more about microwaving and the production of AGEs. Could you please post any links to any scholarly or other articles that reference this topic?Much appreciated,JT

If your active with a pretty high metabolism it should work great, drink lots of water. And I mean lots of water.
